Hey Denver! Our CTO, Joe Ferris, is going to be in Denver next week and we'd
like to have a beer with you. We'll be joining some of our friends over at
[SendGrid](http://sendgrid.com) in their spiffy Denver office for good local
beer and a talk on "Improving Performance for Real-Time Requests".

Joe will be schooling us on how to improve slow requests, avoid duplication,
invalidate caches, and refactor for performance within Rails applications.

Leave us a comment with your favorite local beer and we'll do our best to make
sure we have you covered. We'll also have some nonalcoholic beverages on hand as
well.

Our Denver/Boulder team now includes, [myself](http://twitter.com/desi),
[Corey](http://twitter.com/coreyhaggard), [Elliot](http://twitter.com/mcmire),
[Sage](http://twitter.com/sgrif) and a few more starting in the next couple of
weeks.

Most of us will be there and we are looking forward to meeting you!

[RSVP here](http://drinkup.splashthat.com).

Thursday, April 4th, 6:00 PM at 1451 Larimer Street, 3rd Floor Denver, CO 80202 USA
